The Gambia

The Senegambia bridge is a major infrastructure project that promises significant economic opportunity for The Gambia and the subregion. While it has brought some economic gain to the local communities, those in the most vulnerable situations have experienced negative consequences to their economic, health and personal security. As such, the overall purpose of the programme is to strengthen capacities of the local authorities and communities towards creating an environment to safeguard the economic and social rights of vulnerable groups whose livelihoods have been negatively impacted by climate change and the Senegambia Bridge, while activating new opportunities that emerge along the Trans Gambia corridor.
